NBA: The King of Basketball, the more haters I have, the stronger I become!
Chapter 44: The Top Scholar—Ye Chu!
May 24, US time
The day before the draft, ESPN experts discussed the possible draft positions for the 09 draft class.
The first thing to mention is Ye Chu's final destination.
"The Los Angeles Clippers have invited Ye Chu for a tryout, and he is undoubtedly the number one pick in this year's draft!"
"That's right, Ye Chu will become China's second number one draft pick after Yao Ming!"
"No one can stop Ye Chu from becoming the top scholar, just as no one can change the rising and setting of the sun!"
Obviously
Even these experts in the United States are very optimistic that Ye Chu will become the top scorer in this year's competition.
After talking about Ye Chu
The experts also highlighted Blake Griffin, James Harden, and Stephen Curry!
The global buzz surrounding the 2009 NBA Draft reached unprecedented levels.
Amidst much anticipation
May 25, US time
New York, United States
The famous Madison Square Garden.
The eyes of basketball fans all over the world are focused here!
"Look, all of this year's top rookies have arrived at the venue one by one!"
"James Harden and Jordan Hill are the pride of Arizona State University!"
"Blake Griffin, Thabeet, and Tyreke Evans are all top-five picks!"
"And the core duo of this year's NCAA championship team—Ye Chu and Stephen Curry—are all here!"
Madison Square Garden
Commentators from media outlets around the world have begun to hype up this year's draft.
"Ye, this is your seat!"
Led by the on-site staff, Ye Chu arrived at her designated spot.
His table was very close to the main stage, right below it.
After he sat down, the staff on site very kindly explained the process of the talent show and the precautions to Ye Chu.
Stephen Curry was sitting at the next table to Ye Chu, and he looked surprised when he saw Ye Chu surrounded by two women.
Lilith and Gadge were sitting on either side of him at that moment.
Not buddy!
Didn't you win over Lilith?
Why did Gadčić come along too?
"What's going on???"
Seeing this scene, Stephen Curry couldn't help but whisper to Ayesha beside him, "Why are your two best friends sitting next to him?"
"this....."
Ayesha gave a wry smile: "Perhaps Ye Chu is too promising!"
Faced with her boyfriend's questions, Ayesha couldn't say much; she could only make up some excuse to brush it off.
How could she not say to Curry's face that Ye Chu's special product from China was too powerful and had conquered both of them?
If that's the case...
That would be a game-winning shot for Curry!
After all, no man is indifferent to this issue.
Even though he's his best friend, Curry doesn't want Ye Chu to be "better" than him!
"CCTV! CCTV!"
"Good morning, everyone! We are currently at Madison Square Garden in New York, the home arena of the NBA team, the New York Knicks!"
at the same time
In the media area of Madison Square Garden, CCTV commentators Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping, along with a young and inexperienced Yang Yi, were also standing there.
"Today marks the third time that CCTV has broadcast the entire talent show live!"
"As for the reason, I'm sure everyone knows it."
As Teacher Yu Jia was speaking, the CCTV broadcast camera also found Ye Chu.
In an instant, all the Chinese football fans watching the live broadcast were in an uproar!
"I wonder if Ye Chu can become the top scholar!"
"Shouldn't we put this aside for now? What's the deal with those two glamorous foreign women sitting next to him?"
"What are you all talking about? Wasn't Ye Chu forced to retire by you?"
"Why the hell are you still living in the past? Ye Chu is the pride of China now! Do you understand??"
All Chinese football fans actively participated by leaving messages via mobile phone text messages.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to New York!"
Soon, then-NBA Commissioner David Stern stepped to the forefront: "I am delighted to be back in the spotlight and to see a group of extremely talented young people entering the league!"
As is customary internationally, David Stern delivered a brief opening speech before announcing the first pick.
"In the 2009 NBA Draft, the first pick went to the Los Angeles Clippers, and they had five minutes to make their final selection!"
After David Stern finished speaking, he glanced involuntarily at Ye Chu in the audience, then turned and walked backstage.
"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling!"
Not long after, Ye Chu's phone rang.
Looking at the note on her phone screen, Ye Chu smiled.
"Hello, Mr. Tom, this is Ye Chu!"
"Hello Ye Chu, I'm Tom, the general manager of the Clippers."
As soon as the call was answered, Tom's voice came from the other end: "As per our previous agreement, we will use this year's number one draft pick to select you!"
"I can't wait to see you in a Clippers jersey!"
"We will throw a grand welcome ceremony for you and Stephen Curry!"
"Thank you... thank you!"
After hanging up the phone, David Stern walked out from backstage with a smile and very skillfully opened the envelope representing the Los Angeles Clippers' No. 1 pick.
"First overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft!"
"The Los Angeles Clippers have selected Ye Chu from Davidson College!!!"
As David Stern's voice faded, cheers and applause erupted throughout Madison Square Garden.
Under the spotlight.
Ye Chu first performed a classic celebration combo with Stephen Curry—the shoulder-shaking dance.
After Curry, Ye Chu also hugged and thanked head coach Bob.
He then accepted the hat handed to him by a staff member and walked onto the stage to shake hands with Stern.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Countless flashes lit up at this moment, recording another great moment for Chinese basketball.
"Ye, congratulations! You will become the pride of Chinese basketball!"
On stage, David Stern shook hands with Ye Chu: "I will have my staff give you my contact information later!"
"If you have any problems in the future, you can call me!"
"Thank you, Mr. President!"
Ye Chu responded with a smile.
Meanwhile, the CCTV commentators, including Yu Jia, beamed with joy upon seeing Ye Chu become the top scorer.
"Seven years after Yao Ming was selected first overall by the Houston Rockets in 2002, we have welcomed another NBA number one draft pick!"
"Ye Chu from China has achieved another new accomplishment after winning the Ncaa Championship and holding the Mop Trophy!"
"The pinnacle of Chinese basketball has arrived!"
